2026 Armada ARW 94

The 2026 Armada ARW 94 returns with a new graphic but otherwise unchanged. Built with a lightweight core, Armada strived to achieve a balance between playfulness and durability, targeting creative skiers who like to turn the whole mountain into their playground. With an all-mountain profile and freestyle-inspired personality, the soft, bendy flex pattern gives way to energetic responsiveness and strength where you need it. Bringing plentiful versatility to the table, the ARW 94 is light and poppy in tight terrain while maintaining enough stiffness for groomer performance. A true do-it-all ski for freestyle focused skiers, the mountain is your oyster with the ARW 94. It’s got an awesome blend of smoothness and predictability that will satisfy many versatile skiers.

Built with a light poplar wood core, these skis are smooth and strong. With a consistent, forgiving flex throughout, Armada adds strength and stability underfoot through the use of an ash insert underfoot, promoting binding retention as well. Topping it all off, the construction technology that has received the most attention is Armada’s very own w3dgewall technology. This approach angles the sidewall into the wood core, using friction to form a mechanical bond between the two, pushing them together upon impact rather than apart. Enhancing the durability, Armada also uses 2.5 mm impact edges to withstand rails and boxes. All in all, this ARW 94 is still playful as ever, but seems to carve better at speed and hold up to the demands of hard impacts in the park. Tester Allarie Sullivan calls it “sturdy and ready to rip.”
